Events
Match Events
- 0' The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against OGC Nice and Bayer 04 Leverkusen has kicked off!
- 5' Amine Gouiri has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 40 appearances with only 1 goals this season.
- 10' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Florian Wirtz suffering a number of foals already.
- 12' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Kerem Demirbay.
- 17' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
- 22' Moussa Diaby puts Bayer 04 Leverkusen on the lead.
- 26' What a strike from Hassane Kamara! The score is 1-1.
- 29' Time for substitution for OGC Nice. Myziane Maolida is replaced by Dan Ndoye.
- 32' Goal! Aleksandar Dragovic scores his 4 goal in 531 matches.
- 37' Bayer 04 Leverkusen is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 39' It’s a booking for OGC Nice player. Dan Ndoye gets a Yellow card.
- 44' Supporters expect more eagerness from Jonathan Tah, as he is very good at scoring at Stade de Nice with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 46' Leon Bailey is replacing Patrik Schick for the Bayer 04 Leverkusen side.
- 46' GOAL! Dan Ndoye scores on 46.
- 51' Bayer 04 Leverkusen is taking the lead after the goal scored by Julian Baumgartlinger on 51.
- 56' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 56 minutes.
- 61' OGC Nice started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 61.
- 66' It looks surprising OGC Nice does not make any changes. Jeff Reine-Adelaide has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 67' Another change for OGC Nice made on 67 minute. Danilo leaves to be changed by Khephren Thuram-Ulie.
- 68' Emrehan Gedikli is replacing Moussa Diaby for the Bayer 04 Leverkusen side.
- 72' Racine Coly is replacing Hassane Kamara for the OGC Nice side.
- 77' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Kerem Demirbay made 397 appearances and scored 21 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 82' OGC Nice is showing some good football. However, OGC Nice are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 86' The whistle greets Kerem Demirbay as he departs to be replaced by Florian Wirtz.
- 90' The referee shows OGC Nice player a Yellow card on 90.
- The referee blows the final whistle. Sensational lose for OGC Nice.
